Watch the Ad That Has Trumpies Shitting Bricks

Filed in National by on March 26, 2020 5 Comments

Diaper Donnie’s campaign has sent a letter to TV stations airing this campaign ad from Priorities US not only demanding that they refuse to air it, but that their broadcasting licenses could be pulled if they don’t. In the interest of the Streisand Effect, I encourage everyone to watch it.

Carney on Morning Joe – Credit where Credit is Due

Carney on Morning Joe – Credit where Credit is Due

John Carney took Coons’ spot on Morning Joe this morning and did a very good job. He stuck to the “stay at home & flatten the curve” message, which is working.

To Carney’s credit, in spite of the fact that we don’t have adequate testing capacity, Delaware was an early adopter of “this is serious” approach. It is a realistic outlook that has slowed Delaware’s rates of infection relative to the US in general.

He also managed to get through the entire segment without trashing Democrats – which was very refreshing.

Republicans for Coons

Republicans for Coons

DelawareLiberal has many Republican readers who support Coons for Senate. We read your comments, and know that you like the fact that Coons shares your values and is eager to undermine Democratic initiatives. You appreciate the fact that he often makes speciaous “both sides” are at fault arguments in the press, thereby providing cover for Republicans. It is natural and fitting that Delaware Republicans support Coons in view of his record.

DelawareLiberal would like to hear your stories.  Contact us through the “Got a Tip” link at the top of the page. How much of your support is predicated on the fact that you have no real statewide candidates to support? How much is based on genuine affections for Coons? If you are a Republican that supports Chris Coons for Senate, we want to hear from you directly.

Coons can’t get through 2 minute Morning Joe Segment without trashing Dems

Coons just spent his daily Morning Joe segment touting his experience running New Castle County and little else.   Because he can’t go two minutes without undermining Democrats, he did mention that some of his Democratic colleagues were trying to derail a $1 Trillion stimulus agreement with Mitch McConnell by bringing in “extraneous issues”  that […]

Will Collaborationists Coons and Carper Vote for McConnell’s Corporate Giveaway?

Filed in National by on March 22, 2020 10 Comments

Mitch McConnell and his Repugnant caucus get their corporate bailout/worker fuckover bill through the Senate? They need Democratic votes to do it. Will Carper and Coons play along? Given their normal proclivities, signs point to “Yes,” particularly if other Democrats give them cover. Tomorrow morning would be a good time to flood their offices with […]

Filed in National by on March 20, 2020 0 Comments

You have the power. You have the authority. If indeed we are swimming in masks and tests, as you claim, then mobilize the military to deliver them. They can deliver supplies behind enemy lines, they can surely deliver supplies to the hospitals on the front lines. You have the authority, which you requested, to mobilize […]

Song of the Day 3/19: The Clash, “Lost in the Supermarket”

Minnesota and Vermont have designated grocery store workers emergency personnel, making them eligible for free child care. While we rightly praise health-care personnel, grocery workers come into contact with hundreds of people a day, and most shoppers aren’t staying six feet away from their cashier. My brother’s job brings him into several of them in […]

The Covid-19 Threeway: Coons + Azar + Fox News

When all of this is over, there will be an accounting. We’ll know who told the truth, who lied. We’ll know who helped put Trump’s players in place, and Chris Coons’ name will be on the wrong side of the ledger.

LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): And Mr. Secretary, finally, I just want to say, I know you are working — and all of you are — like 24/7. I mean, it’s a lot, and thank you for what you’re doing. You take a lot of grief, as does the entire administration, the president right in front, so thank you for your work on behalf of the American people. We are praying for you and for the recovery of all of those afflicted.

ALEX AZAR: Thank you, Laura. Thanks for all you do also to keep us all informed.
